Docebo for Webex

Docebo for Webex

Introduction

For those using Webex Meetings, Training and Event Center for web training, your platform can integrate with Webex, so your users can access live training sessions directly in webinar courses in their Docebo platforms.

Please Note: Docebo can integrate with Webex Meetings, Training and Event Center. The other Cisco web conferencing tools are not currently supported. You can only activate this app if you have a Webex account, if your license includes the Admin site access and if you have agreed to the terms and conditions outlined in your contract.

Tips & Tricks

– Docebo does not support WebEx accounts in federated mode with SSO. If you have configured the SSO authentication in your WebEx page, when you try to create a WebEx session, you might receive an error: “An error was returned from the API: ‘Incorrect user or password'”.

SCORM and AICC are international standard for tracking E-Learning activities. xAPI (formerly Tin Can API) is the Learning Objects new standard. The Docebo Learning Management System supports both of these standards.
